RE: v6 of HMC was: LPAR - HMC/FSP vs. R/LPAR vs. APRM vs. ?

Mike,

I have installed V7 at all our customers, and some have 5094 and
5074s. I don't know of any problems. If you don't want bleeding edge, just
install the 7.3.3 and get the latest Service pack (I think it's SP3) and you
will be fine. You can leave 7.3.4 until it gets some more miles on it.

V7 is awesome. I could have sworn that our CE told us that there might
be a problem with V7 and older towers. We have a few 5094's and 5074's.
It didn't make sense to me but I kind of put V7 on the back burner
because.

Does anyone know if there are there any issues with V7 and older
hardware components?

Mike,

I used to be on V6 (maybe even V5 at the time of my enlightenment) of
HMC.
But once I saw V7 at IBM Rochester I had to have that - now. Yes, I
had
to trod carefully as I was so far behind I had to upgrade firmware,
upgrade hmc, upgrade firmware, upgrade hmc... to get to current but V7
rocks.
